HENRY WARD BEECHER said to q
Philadelphia reporter the other day;
"Holmes, Lowell. and Whittier are all
that remain of the abolition party OF
the past. AS for myself, ! found the
British people had the most absurd idea
of the importance of my work in the
cause of the emancipation of the slave.
My services in that matter were always
dwelt upon at length by those who in.
troduced me when lectured. | finally
got to believe that two people were
alone responsible for the emancipation
of the colored people. | was one, and
my sister. Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe.

THE Abilene Daily Reporter a
month ago suspended its daily edi-
ton, and shortly thereafter the Daily
Times was thrown out to the breeze
by Harrison & Wilson, two practical
newspaper men. The Reporter has
since revived its daily and now the
two will contest for the field barely
sufficient for one. Both are neat
newsy local papers, and either with
the field would doubtless be better.
The HERALD wishes success to the
survivor.

Waxahachie's Booming Report.

WAXAHACHIE, Feb. 14.-Waxahachie
is on big boom, we suppose caused
from the present favorable outlook of
an early building ofthe Dallas & Waco
railroad through this place. Several
large deals running up in the thou
sands in real estate have been made
this week inside the city. In fact
there is more selling and transferring
of real estate in Waxahachie than
there has been for years, and at fancy
prices, too. New residences are going
up in every direction, and our little
city is assuming an air of thrift and
prosr Gritty that promises to exceed
anything known in lis past history.

MysterIous Death.

ANsoS, Feb. l4.-Yesterday the body of
G.. w. futile was discovered near his cart,
four miles from town, short distance from
the road, having been shot. His gun was
found near with an empty cartridge in it.
II is not known whether he was murdered
or shot himself in taking his gun from the
cart after going into camp. The fact that
his pockets contained go and nothing
seemed disturbed in the cart, removes the
impression Of robbery. An inquest found
death by gunshot wound.

Written notices are posted up conspicu-
ously in various parts Of our borough call
ing for a special election, to be held at the
Carbon House on Saturday, the 23rd day
of July, for the purpose Of deciding the
water ISSUE Tue imperative necessity of
Lehighton having a first-class water supply
is evident to all our citizens, but at the
same time 1t would not be in good taste or
in a spirit Of general good for the tax-pay-
ers to act thoughtessly and indiscriminate-
ly in this all-important matter. We must
have water, the growing necessities of our
borough demand this, but is It, OF would
it be wise for water supply to be put In
at the expense Of the town? We believe It
would not be wise, and having felt the pub
lie pulse on the matter are convinced that
the issue will be defeated at the polls A
little more than twelve years ago public
school house was erected--S45,00 900 was
recklessly squandered- Taxpayers were
disgusted to a man, and for that reason
fearing that by placing too much power in
the hands Of the borough council would
lead to indiscliminate expense and greatly
increased taxation they will on July 23rd
vote against the borough water issue. In
voting against the water issue they will be
actuated by a spirit Of self-interest superln-
duced by the unpleasant and unwise ac-
tion of the scheol board twelve CT more
years age.
We must have water, bat let stock
company bring it In, for, as we understand
the present issue, it would not only be I'm
wise but foolish in the extreme for the tax
payers to unfortunately grant the power
of putting in water supply al the borough
dictRtion.
Water we must and will havel but the
right individuals must be at the head of
the matter-the borough authorities are
not the individuals however, so it is safe
to say that for the present we will not have
water.
